Mistresses Season 2 Premiere and Going Behind The Scenes #ABCTVEvent

We were invited to an all expense paid trip to attend a private interview and studio tour at the ABC TV Studios in exchange for sharing our experiences. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

During our trip to Hollywood, we had the opportunity to interview Jason George (“Dominic Taylor”), Jes Macallan (“Josslyn Carver”) and Justin Hartley (who joins the cast this year as “Scott”) to talk all about the SECOND season of Mistresses! That’s right, baby, they’re back!

Mistresses 1

Justin Hartley has been on shows like Smallville, Green Arrow, and Revenge. We are so excited to see him on Mistresses this year!

ABC has always been my favorite source of heated drama, and Mistresses has been a HUGE favorite of mine from the beginning. It always excites me to see actresses like Alyssa Milano (I’ve been a long-time fan of hers) star in shows like these! It was a lot of fun meeting Jason George and Jes Macallan, touring the set (including April’s quaint store), and chatting with Mistresses’ costume designer Roemehl Hawkins on fashion and what’s trending this season! It was really surreal to watch a few of the actors filming scenes from one of the upcoming episodes for Season 2. This sizzling summer drama is back on ABC TV tonight, and you don’t want to miss the second season of Mistresses!

I wasn’t sure what to expect of the Mistresses name (other than infidelity), but it’s more so than this. It’s about friendships evolving, and their love life experiences between four female friends — Savi (Alyssa Milano), Joss (Jes Macallan), April (Rochelle Aytes) and Karen (Yunjin Kim).

What can we expect on Mistresses’ second season:
“Rebuild” – Eight months later, Savi, having cheated death, makes the most of her second chance. Karen struggles to rebound from loss, both personal and professional. April’s life gets interesting when old friend, Mickey (guest star Joseph May), returns and pushes her to make some changes and Joss tries her hand at a new job, party planner to wealthy Angelenos, in the second season premiere of “Mistresses,” MONDAY, JUNE 2 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Soleil Moon Frye guest stars as herself.

“Mistresses” stars Alyssa Milano as Savannah (“Savi”) Davis, Yunjin Kim as Karen Kim, Rochelle Aytes as April Malloy, Jes Macallan as Josslyn Carver, Brett Tucker as Harry Davis and Jason George as Dominic Taylor.

“Rebuild” guest stars Corinne Massiah as Lucy Malloy, Ricky Whittle as Daniel Zamora, Rebeka Montoya as Antonia Ruiz, William Ragsdale as Dr. Blakeley, Catherine Haena Kim as Anna Choi, Joseph May as Mickey, Kathryn Gordon as Vanessa Cross, Ashley Newbrough as Kyra and Soleil Moon Frye guest stars as herself.

As an avid fashion lover, I was excited to meet Roemehl Hawkins (she’s also designed costumes for shows like Desperate Housewives)! We got to see the outfits the girls wore in season two, and it was really cool to see it on television and say, “Hey I saw THOSE outfits in person at the ABC Studios!!!” Roehmehl Hawkins is truly an expert in her craft, and I love that she follows many of the BIG fashion bloggers for fashion inspiration too! Bloggers do have influence in this world, even with experts like Roehmehl! My fave was Joss’ outfit, because it’s THE color of the season — Radiant Orchid! It’s soft yet bold in and purple is a color I’ve always liked on any skin tone.

We received a gorgeous gift from Roehmehl – this super cute silver cuff from Robyn Rhodes Jewelry!

Jess Macallan was so amazed to see all of us, and was funny and full of energy. She told us she’s checked out ALL 25 of our blogs and said we were the “real deal”. It feels great to know that those who are so influential in the entertainment industry see us that way. It feels good to be appreciated!

Later we met actor Jason George from Grey’s Anatomy and got to take a group picture with him! He also gave us a tour of the law firm that he works at on Mistresses and shared a fun fact — he has REAL family photos of him and his family on his office desk! He’s a family man with a lot of heart and I love how he smiles from ear to ear! He was very personable with each of us, and made us feel so valued. I can’t wait for you to see what happens with Dom in this season premiere of Mistresses! I wish I could say!!!

    Love April’s cognac colored leather jacket from season 2, first episode. Can you tell me where I can find it. It’s not Tara, and cannot find it anywhere. Thank you.

@georgeteh3 put his heart and soul into this proje @georgeteh3 put his heart and soul into this project piece for @arteh_creations ❤️ He’s learning new things throughout the furniture design and building process. And figuring it out along the way (all without formal training, education or experience in the trade - learned it from YouTube lol).

He created functional art from this very, very, very delicate 1950’s gossip chair 🪑 that we got for free through FBMP. It was in pretty bad shape, and I was unsure of how he would do it or what he planned to do. But I’ve always loved how creative his visions and ideas are with pieces he finds, and I knew he’d come up with something amazing!

I’m so proud of how far my husband has come in all facets of his life. And it’s great to see his eyes lighting up again when he talks about building and creating furniture and art!

Happy husband, happy home! 🏡 #vintagedecor #furnitureflipper #gossipchair #beforeandafter #furnituremakeover #antiquefurniture #modernrustic #artdecodesign
Hiiiiiii! I’ve been keeping a secret under embargo Hiiiiiii! I’ve been keeping a secret under embargo until the full announcement was released, and I’m thrilled to finally share! ✨

After much prayer, reflection, soul-searching, and a sprinkle of courage, I’ve taken a leap and joined the other side as a freelance Creative Consultant for The Allen Lewis Agency (@trytala)🚀

For over 12 years I’ve been captivated by the power of creativity, design, influence, and the art of storytelling. It’s been an incredible journey filled with learning, growth, and an unquenchable passion for all things content creation.💡And now I get to dive into a whole new world (to me, at least) of the agency side working behind the scenes in PR/Marketing/Communications and alongside my Influencer and Content Creator friends! 🌟

This new chapter represents not just a professional milestone, but a personal commitment to pursue what sets my heart on fire. I’m looking forward to working with incredible individuals like Jocelyn Coley and the roster of amazing, major brands. I’m excited to learn from each experience, but also grateful for some familiarity, as I’ve actually worked with a handful of the team throughout the years as an Influencer.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me! Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to see where this new path leads. Also, to all my influencer frands — I hope you’re all excited and ready too, because I’ll be reaching out to you for future potential opportunities! Love you all! 🙏💫 #humblebeginnings #newbeginningsahead #newaddition #momswhohustle

Happy 1-Year Work Anniversary, @Collectors / @PSAc Happy 1-Year Work Anniversary, @Collectors / @PSAcard ! 🎉 Celebrated it on March 8th (but it was International Women’s Day). Also coming up on 10 years in Talent Acquisition/HR field.

Started in this space as a Contract Recruiting Coordinator (temp) scheduling interviews and setting up job fair booths (boy that was an adventure, let me tell ‘ya 🤣). And I very quickly worked my way up to becoming a Corporate Recruiter. I absolutely love what I do, and the impact we make to help better people’s lives through finding their dream careers. ❤️

Now I work for a company who helps people pursue their passions for collecting. My own family loves collecting high-value collectibles too.

I began collecting postage stamps at the age of 8. I remember getting grounded, because I racked up a $500 phone bill making calls to a New York stamp dealer talking all things stamps. And look at me now, Mom! 😂 I was an 80’s and 90’s kid…moved into @lisafrank stickers, @pokemon cards, Cabbage Patch Kids, video games and Beanie Babies. 😜 I’ve been asking my parents where those collectibles are, but they are still missing. 🙈

Now my children, husband and MIL have a wooden chest full of sports cards, Funko Pops, and memorabilia.

As you can see, finding an industry I love, doing the type of work that I do, is a dream and fulfills me. And the company perks are a huge plus. They’re an AMAZING company! 🙌

The collectible hoodie I’m wearing was custom designed by artist, Adam Lister, for Collectors employees! 😍 #findyourpurpose #findyourpath #findyourpassion #HR #recruiter  #recruiterlife #corporateidentity #corporatemom #dreamjob #humanresources #talentacquisition #psacard #collectors #dowhatyoulovetodo #workanniversary
Working from home does have it’s perks! Beautiful Working from home does have it’s perks! Beautiful views, peace and quiet, can work in my bathrobe (and take it off to reveal my work appropriate attire during Zoom meetings 🤣). I was super cold here, since Cali’s amazing yet bipolar weather allows for zero usage of heat and air conditioning, but still needing things handy for warmth.
